A broken boy// Matthew Espinosa Fanfiction

Matthew's POV

I walk into my house after school, hearing my parents fighting.

I walk up to my room and toss my bag onto my bed when I hear something break.

I get up and go downstairs to check on them and see my dad holding my mom's neck.

My eyes widen and I rush over and push him off of her.

"Don't fucking touch her" I said continuously pushing him backwards.

"Don't fucking touch ME" He shoots back pushing me also.

He punches me in the jaw and I groan out but didn't hesitate to start fighting back.

"Stop! Stop!" My mom is yelling at us as we are fighting.

I push him off of me.

"Fucking LEAVE"I said pointing to the door.

"You leave. This is my house" He said.

"No. Its not. Mom makes payments on the house. NOT YOU. You don't do shit" I said 

"You know what. I will leave. I don't need this piece of shit family." He said and I know that had to hurt mom.

He goes upstairs and I turn towards Mom.

"Are you okay? Did he hurt you?" I asked her.

"I'm fine. Go to your room please. Matthew" She said, tears streaming down her face.

I look down but nod.

I go up to my room and sigh, shutting the door.

I grab my phone out of my pocket and decide to text Dani.

I had saved her number when I first got it.

I click the new message button thing and click her contact.

I start typing.

Me: Hey Dani :))

No. The smileys are too weird.

Me: Hey Dani 

Even that sounds weird.

God.

Me: Hey 

I sigh and just send that.

I don't even get whats so special about this girl that makes me want to.. change.

Like why do I care so much that other people want to have sex with her.

And why did I fight Nick over her?

And why does she make me smile so easily?

Why do I just want to hug her all the time, even though I haven't actually touched her besides shaking her hand and occasionally brushing our shoulders together.
